For those that don't read Slashdot, they just posted an item that a US
District Court found "Online 'Browse-Wrap' Software License Agreement Not
Binding"
Slashdot post at
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/07/07/161248&mode=thread, with a link
to the article at law.com.
In summary, because the users did not have to agree to or even review the
license agreement before downloading the software, the requisite assent was
missing, and thus no agreement was reached.
